Head-body 50-65 mm, tail 82-97 mm, ear 6-10 mm, hindfoot 14-17 mm; weight 3-8 g. The Climbing Shrew is small. Dorsum is grayish, with brown tinge (hairs gray with brown tips); venter is whitish to pale buff (hairs gray with buff or white tips); and fur is soft and moderately dense. Sides can either be similar to dorsal pelage or grayer, fading into ventral pelage. Head is slender; muzzle is long, narrow, and pointed; eyes are small; and ears are relatively large and rounded. Feet are brown, slender, and longer than in other congenerics. Tail is ¢.118% of head-body length, thin, covered with tiny dark bristles, and bicolored, being dark brown above and pale

The Climbing Shrew is scansorial (evident by its very long tail) and is known to use its tail and hindfeet to hold itself while stretching between branches. A nest in Zimbabwe was spherical, made of broad-leafed grasses, and placed 1 m above the ground in branches of a bush.
